# Web98: Fantasy Internet Simulator

### What is it?

i’ve been working on a new kind of browser — a *fantasy internet simulator*

![Retro](Images/retro.png?raw=true)

it works like any other browser: type a URL or a search query, and it loads a page!

but in this case, the page isn’t coming from the internet. it’s coming from chatGPT. 

and i’ve asked chatGPT to pretend it’s still 1996.

![1996](Images/1996.png?raw=true)

i like browsing the retro internet full of GIFs and marquees. but this browser can browse ~any~ internet that ever existed... or never existed.

ancient rome internet? what about the internet from star wars?

my favorite is the internet where everyone is really mean to you

![mean](Images/mean.png?raw=true)

you can put in any “world description” you want... 

![description](Images/description.png?raw=true)

a cool emergent property of this is that you can ask for simple utilities, like unit converters and translators. and by filling out the forms, you can *sometimes* interact with them!

(sometimes gpt doesn’t get it)

# Installation

You can either:

1. Download the [Testflight](https://t.co/mxLwg0nKfZ)

2. Clone this repo and build it from Xcode

Note that either way, you'll need to have an [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/overview).
